Life and Work in Houston
Houston is the center of the American energy industry, and that shapes the injury cases that come out of it. Refineries and petrochemical plants along the ship channel, port terminals, construction sites and a vast trucking network employ hundreds of thousands of people in high-risk work.
The roads match the scale. I-10, I-45 and I-69 move freight through the metro area day and night, and Loop 610 and Beltway 8 carry constant commuter and commercial traffic. Flooding, construction and sheer volume make serious crashes a daily occurrence.
ZIP codes we serve include 77002, 77008, 77036 and 77084

Houston Personal Injury FAQ
Why would I hire a San Antonio firm for a Houston case?
What matters is that your lawyer is licensed in Texas, handles your type of case and will give it real attention. Marco earned his law degree in Houston, handles cases in Harris County, and works directly with his clients rather than handing them off.
Will my case be handled in Houston courts?
Generally yes. A case is usually filed where the injury happened or where the defendant is located, so a Houston injury is typically a Harris County case.
I was hurt at a plant as a contractor, not an employee.
Contractors often have more options, not fewer. Claims may exist against the plant owner, the general contractor or equipment manufacturers, depending on who controlled the work and the hazard.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Texas?
For most Texas personal injury cases, the deadline is two years from the date of the injury. Some claims, especially against a city or government entity, have much shorter notice deadlines. The sooner you call, the more we can do.
